Skipper Johnnie Jackson signed a two year contract extension and will stay with the Addicks until the end of the 2015/16 season.

The popular Jackson has made 155 appearances for Charlton, scoring 44 goals. The skipper was delighted to have finally completed the deal. Negotiations have been on going for some while and Jackson had this to say after agreeing his new contract:

“I’m really pleased, we’ve been talking for a while and I was desperate to get it signed and get my future secure.

“I’ve always said I love the club and love being captain of the club and I just always saw my future here and nowhere else, so I was desperate to get it pushed over the line and I’m delighted to finally do it.

“It’s two more years but after that, hopefully longer, because I’d love to finish my career here.

“The club has been great for me and I really feel part of the fabric of the place so, for me, there’s no better place to be and as long as the club will have me I’ll be happy to be here.

“It’s been uncertain times on and off the pitch with a lot of things but the big picture doesn’t change, that we want the club to survive and we’ve got between now and the end of the season to make sure the club stay in the division.

“That has got to be the absolute 100 per cent focus now, no excuses. My future is secure and hopefully I can help secure the club’s future as well,” said Jackson.

Jackson is the first of the more experienced plyers to be offered a new deal.
